Dark Knight ’s Oscar bombilation has been circling since the first “ Why So Serious ? ” advertizement . And now that some science fiction television series garnered a handful of Emmy nominating address yesterday , masses are wondering if this could be the yr the red - headed stepchild of the amusement industry catch a well deserve pat on the back from Hollywood . woefully , the answer is plausibly no , because while the buzz is great , signs of blatant neglect for musical genre show and movies are still glare at us from the award show podium . And Hollywood is more than happy to assure us why .
In the wee hours of the morning Neil Patrick Harris ( who just so happens to be staring in a fantastic scifi Joss Whedonweb serial ) read off the name for those nominate for Emmys . In a wonderfully fulfilling minute Battlestar Galactica writer Michael Angeli was nominated for Outstanding Writing For A Drama Series . But as the names go on I take in that the whole BSG cast had been drop dead over , as well as the show itself , for skilful Drama . I was pretty shocked , since Boston Legal made the listing . Call me sour grapeshot , but I ’m going to have to side with the critically acclaim religious warfare epic over watch out James Spader try out and get put down each week . But on the flip side , Lost was name for Best Drama ( a scifi triumph ) . Yet Lost still capture no dearest for committal to writing .
And now Hollywood is trying to dart our dream at seeing a scifi profits at the Oscars . People in the know are calling the Heath Ledger Oscar buzz on the internet mere type - clicking for an over - hype film . Although Leonard Maltin , film critic for Entertainment Tonight , agrees that Ledger ’s carrying into action was great , with one phrasal idiom he drop off the hopes of a million scifi fans as those who do n’t matter . Says Maltin : “ I assure you that the people who are go around all this are neither Oscar elector nor ( Hollywood ) movers and United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing . ”
Other commentator claim Hollywood would find a Ledger Oscar creepy . Tom O’Neil , from The Envelope.com , explains , “ That ’s how reluctant Oscar voters are to hug the dead,”O’Neil said . “These award are all about hug and there ’s something creepy about embracing the dead . ”
So the insiders have discredited the cyberspace community of interests as know - nothing bombination - generators , who do n’t and wo n’t have any encroachment on whom Hollywood deems worthy of congratulations . Then they go as far to say that a vote for a well done objet d’art of playacting would just be creepy because of an unseasonable expiry . It feel like apprehend for straws . I bid they ’d just say what they meant , that it ’s an natural process movie and we just ca n’t be forced to take that seriously .
When is Hollywood go to get it ? Scifi writer , artist and all the other indoor kids are the unity that dream of a bigger mankind are the 1 that bring occupation to loge offices . These people that you continually shove in the back table out of camera ’s reach at the Golden Globes are the unity who fetch you different creation , fantastic creatures , new ideas and worldsandstarted dialogues about our future .
When will this continual snub to the scifi industry remnant ? Will something like Cormac McCarthy ’s film adjustment of The Road unfold the doors wider because of McCarthy ’s past award - winning success ? Will writers burn out if Hollywood continue plough its back on wonderfully publish serial publication like BSG ? Not if J.J. Abrams ’ Fringe has anything to say about it . Thankfully we still have eager young minds who have found enough winner to inspire future scifi contributors , Hollywood be damned .
If the sensation mien at San Diego ’s Comic Con is any meter reading of Hollywood treating scifi with greater respect , then at least we ’re on the correct path . But I hope the day that Hollywood lays itself at the scifi manufacture ’s feet and says “ I jazz you , ” scifi wait right into Hollywood ’s eyes and says , “ I know . ”
